I am very sorry to hear that Keith has passed away. My husband died one year ago, on 12-6-2023. We were married for 56 years. I met Keith on a bus going to Arizona while Keith was on his way to San Deigo. CA. I was 18 years old and I had just graduated from high school. My 12 year old niece was with me. I agreed to write to him and I did for several months. I was beginning to fall in love with him. He was feeling the same way. My future husband came home on leave from the Air Force. He talked me into breaking it off with Keith and he asked me to marry him instead. I know I broke Keith's heart. I am so very sorry, but it seems he married a great local girl, had a beautiful family and stayed in Oldabolt. I was intending on calling him about six months ago, and am sorry I did not call. He was a great guy and I still have feelings for him even today. He told me I looked like Julie London. He and I wrote almost every day and it was sad what I did to him. My husband became a Baptist Pastor and we had a boy and a girl. We have 5 grandchildren and almost 2 great grandchildren. Yes, I almost married Keith Reinhart. Please tell his family hello from me, Lenni (Roberts) Nordloh. I am so sorry for your loss, for those who loved Keith Hillman Reinhart. If the family wants to get in touch with me, my email is [email protected]
